Pears and cranberries are a favorite fall combination ; both are delicious when compliment by the flavor of orange . I wish to use my fresh herb to add perfume and flavor to seasonal desserts . If you do n’t have orange geranium folio , orange mint would work well . Rosemary or sage leaves could also be used — I’d use about 8 to 10 branchlet of rosemary about 1 - 1/2 inch long and remove them before serving or about 12 to 15 whole salvia leaves .

Preheat oven to 375 level F. Generously butter a 2 - quart ovenproof dish .

Take the quartered pears and reduce them crosswise into slices and put them in a bowlful ; compact the lemon over the pears , and toss them with the cranberry . tot up the chocolate-brown dough , flour , relish , and whole odoriferous geranium folio and toss well . Transfer the yield smorgasbord to the prepared beauty and sprinkle the top with freshly grated nutmeg .

In a bowl , mix the flour and salt and toss to blend . disregard the butter into the flour with a pastry cutter or two knives . total the brown sugar , oats , and walnuts and toss well . Scatter the crumble topping over the fruit in the genus Pan . Bake in a preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes , until the crumble is gilded brown and the pears are tender when stuck with the tip of a knife . nerveless on a baking rack for at least 15 instant before serving . dish out hot , warm , or at room temperature . ou can remove the herb leaf if desired , I in the main leave them in the dessert , but do not eat on them ; just discourage your guest if you do so .
